So I appear to be on a Shopify black list.

I've called them, my bank, and on a few occasions even tried other people's cards.

I'm declined no matter what, by Shopify. It's been this way for well over a year. Sometimes retailers will manually process a transaction, but otherwise it's infuriating for me to see Shopify grow in the market.

The thing where it calculates ip geolocation distance from the shipping address is a potential culprit. Maybe your IP address has a bad entry in their ip geo mapping software.

They also don't like proxies and VPNs.

anything to do with marijuana, they will ban you because they are processed by stripe and american company
